Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
Ground Beef: Choose 80/20 ground beef for that perfect balance of flavor and juiciness that keeps sliders moist.
Slider Buns: Soft dinner rolls work best; look for ones that are slightly sweet and pillowy.
Cheddar Cheese: Shredded cheese melts beautifully and adds that cheesy goodness we love.
Pickles: Use dill pickles for that signature crunch and tang that cuts through the richness.
Onion: Finely chopped onions add flavor; sautéing them brings out their sweet side.
For the Special Sauce:
Ketchup: A classic base; add a bit more for extra sweetness if desired.
Mayonnaise: Creamy mayo balances out the acidity of the ketchup beautifully.
Dijon Mustard: Use just a touch; it adds depth without overpowering other flavors.
Sweet Relish: A key ingredient; it enhances sweetness and adds texture to the sauce.
The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.
Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it heats up, gather all your ingredients so you can cook effortlessly without running around like a headless chicken.
Make the Special Sauce: In a bowl, mix together ketchup, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and sweet relish until well combined. Taste it and adjust seasoning if you want more kick or sweetness.
Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown your ground beef until fully cooked through—about 8 minutes. You want it perfectly crumbled; no one wants chewy sliders!
Add Onions and Season: Stir in finely chopped onions during the last minute until they become translucent and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper for that extra zing.
Assemble Your Sliders: In an oven-safe dish, layer bottom halves of slider buns. Spoon in a generous amount of beef mixture followed by shredded cheese. Top with pickles before placing on the top buns.
Bake to Perfection: Place your assembled sliders in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes until everything is heated through and cheese is melted. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will have everyone asking what’s cooking!
Now you know how to create these delightful Big Mac Sliders! Enjoy every bite at your next gathering or cozy movie night at home.
